                             By:    Brandon Werner

In this talk, I will discuss the different screen readers that are
available for Linux including console and graphical screen readers. A
screen reader is a program that can be used to read text on screen out
loud or display it in braille for someone who is visually impaired and
can't see the screen. I will demonstrate how screen readers can be
used to read applications like Firefox and LibreOffice as well as the
terminal. Finally, I will discuss the use of Qemu a virtualizer and
BTRFS snapshots in the context in which they benefit me in performing
accessibility testing for my job.
